Fed up of Church Politics

I am so fed up of Church politics! We seem to be so wrapped up in internal battles that I feel sometimes we forget our mission, our reason for being! I can't really express what I'm getting at properly but the lyrics of the Casting Crowns song "If we are the body" kinda sums up my attitude.

CASTING CROWNS LYRICS

"If We Are The Body"

It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girl's teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way

A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgemental glances
Tells him that his chances are better out on the road

Jesus payed much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ

Jesus is the way


I pray that we can learn to get along in a unified way sometime soon!
Blessed Be.

Hey RG,
Great to see you today.
Thanks for reminding me of this song. What you wrote is so true.

Sorry long time no comment, I've been silly busy so haven't seen people's blogs forever!

God bless you,
With lots of love,
Steve
